I know it's crazy after such a wet winter and spring I'm asking for moisture but it's amazing how the surface dries given breeze and warm temperatures. This is where most of the root systems are. The poorer grasses such as pop annua rely on a shallow rootsystem. Given most of our greens are mostly poa annua we are already needing to apply water to some of the sandier based greens.
The biggest headache is that the automatic side of the irrigation system still has a couple of faults. Meaning we have to water by hand and this takes time and has to be done in the day whereas the automatic system delivers water through the night. Watering in the night is also more beneficial as it does not evaporate as much as watering in the day. We hope to get the faults fixed this week.
Else where the course is looking good, the white tees are now ok for use generally. The range grass tee is also open. We hope to take preferred lies off this week. 
The height of greens and fairways have been lowered slightly to there normal summer levels. We hope to start micro tining and top dressing the greens this coming week.
They are long overdue and in desperate need of some aeration. I appreciate it won't be welcomed by golfers but it's due to the poor weather and the sheer amount of play in poor conditions this work is needed. Given this weather recovery will be fast.
